H-Back
I believe that this page is a duplicate of H-back and Fullback_(gridiron_football) (as is does include some text from those articles). You would need to have a good source of information about this being separate from those other two articles for this article to not be deleted. I suggest that you invest your time in improving those articles if you are unable to find the required evidence to support this one. Metiscus (talk) 16:58, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Fullback/Tight End (American football)


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Fullback/Tight End (American football). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – H-back. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at H-back. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Metiscus (talk) 17:00, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
